Dunlavy resurrection?


I bought the rights etc to Dunlavy when Kenny closed it years ago.  After years of design research have come up with an amazing evolution to the line.  While I love the thought of bringing it back to market, and think there is a need, I'm not sure I "want a job" and don't really need one.  If any one out there with an industry connection that might have interest in discussing moving things forward with my financial backing, send me an email at dunlavyinfo@gmail.com

Why not talk to http://www.tyleracoustics.com/. Mr. Tyler already makes some fine speakers and, obviously, has the infrastructure in place. Seems like a natural fit. Good luck!
Looks like the question is: How much maintenance are you willing to do for great sound? We know the requirements of tube amps, i.e., tubes wear out and need replacing. Is great sound worth swapping out tweeters every year or so? I still remember my audition of SC-IVa's many years ago as one of the most impressive moments of my listening journey. Everything was simply "Right" (Listening to Sade's "Stronger Than Pride").
If you want to know what's special about Dunlavy speakers, click on the link and goto the bottom of the page to the "waterfall" plot.
This is the cleanest I've seen (a late-gen Wilson Watt had a similarly clean graph albiet with a lower amplitude).
Another element of this speaker's sound is the tight (hand adjusted) matching of driver/crossover components. From Stereophile: "Pair matching: better than ±0.5dB up to 15kHz." Comparing the response of both test speakers.
Amazing.
